Default Blind steal gets messy

Party Poker 3/6 6max (5 handed).

Big Blind is 41/15/3.87 and has 5.5 bets left before posting.
MP [poster] started with 6.3 bets.
I'm on the button and I have an aggressive table image.


Dealt to me Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Preflop
UTG folds, MP [Poster] checks, I raise, SB folds, BB calls, MP calls

Flop : 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB bets, MP calls, I raise, BB 3bets, MP calls, I call

Turn : T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB bets, MP calls

What's my plan from here on?
How would you play if the turn wasn't a ten?

Default Re: Blind steal gets messy

You're behind here. Even if you're getting 3-bet by another Queen here, you're outkicked. But you're getting 9.5:1 on the turn here, which makes it a pretty easy call.

The Ten doesn't really affect you in any way. It doesn't help you with a draw. It doesn't dirty any of your outs. The only way it hurts you is if BB has KT or QT. KT means only a Queen will help you, and QT means you're drawing dead. AJ and J9 obviously made a straight, but BB 3-betting that draw out of position is uncommon.

This is an easy turn call. MP's call of two bets indicates a draw. I'd say either JT or a flush draw.

Fold the river unimproved, and call a single bet if the 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] comes out. Raise any other improvement provided MP doesn't do it first.
